crunch!

[Calvin Krug]

Friday afternoon, I had to drive my 200 Q over to the local home 
improvent warehouse to pick up some items for work.  I ran in, 
grabbed what I needed, got back in my car, backed out of my space, 
checking behind me to be sure it was clear.  As I move the gearshift 
from reverse to first gear, I see some movement out of my peripheral 
vision. I look out my window, and see a spare tire, attached to a 
Honda Passport, headed directly at my door.  If I honk, maybe he'll 
stop, so I hit the button......nothing.  Damn, I forgot that it 
doesn't work.  Crunch!  Now there is a large circular dent in the 
left rear door and quarter panel, and the window won't roll up. 
Great, that's just what I need.  Now the whole left side of the car 
is smashed up.  I still haven't fixed the tow truck damage from early 
this year.  So, the moral to this story is to check your horns, they 
might save you some trouble, and beware of idiots in SUV's.  Oh, and 
if any of you have some left side sheet metal for an '89 200 for sale 
cheap, preferrably somewhere in the midwest, let me know.
